Great 6 Variations for Pretzel Snack Mix Recipe
1. Use pretzels instead of crackers to make a slightly lower calorie, slightly healthier version.
2. Use pretzel pizzas instead of the popcorn for an interesting twist and a little more of a crunchy taste.
3. Use graham crackers instead of broken or crushed pretzel sticks to make this mix even more nutritionally sound by increasing the fiber and protein count and decreasing the carbohydrates, fat, and sodium content.
4. Add some sesame seeds on top as a garnish for even more crunch and a delicious, nutty taste.
5. Add some chopped nuts to the mix for an even bigger crunch, more nutrients, and a little sweetness from the honey.
6. If you have kids at home or young ones visiting you, use unsalted pretzels instead of the sticks to keep them crispy longer and avoid too much salt intake.
Can I Freeze It?
Yes! You can. It makes a great snack for those cold winter days. Just let it thaw (after removing the plastic wrap) in a bowl or baking sheet at room temperature to defrost and mix in other ingredients if desired.
You can store it in an airtight container for about 3 months if you do not intend on eating this immediately after baking.
